Accounts and Passwords

New students and employees will be granted access to the Augusta University System within 24 hours of acceptance from admissions or on-boarding from human resources. You will then activate your new account and create a secure password.

It’s vital that everyone does their part to keep passwords safe to prevent account theft. You can do this by creating a strong password and enabling two-factor authentication with Duo . Doing this will allow you to safely access AU services on campus and off.

Create a Secure Password

Your password is important because it verifies to us that you are who you say you are, so create unique passwords known only to you. Never share your password with anyone or write it down where someone can find it. 

Augusta University password requirements are as follows:

  • Passwords are case-sensitive.
  • Must be at least twelve characters long and include at least one letter and number.
  • Must not include any of the following values: password, change, and cannot use part of your name or username.
  • Don't reuse! The new password should not have been used previously.
  • Passwords that use Multifactor Authentication (MFA) must be updated once a year, every 365 days.
